The train is a tribute to the old Union Train Station. Its actually pretty cool. You're right about Tal's Hill though, it's being removed after the season. Ive always felt it was dangerous. The shallow LF Crawford boxes get bailed out by the massive CF measurements. All in all its a very nice venue to watch a game.

Astros had two 400-foot outs today. Beautiful park

It's a clown car, and a disgrace for a MLB park

I don't even care about the pitching or even final lines. What bothers me the most is we just flat out got out played. That doesn't typically happen to us so its a bit discouraging. I'm of the thought that we were so hyped for Oakland that they had a letdown series. I think we will rock Minnesota.

Minute Maid is like some of those old historical parks. They used to be really short down the lines and forever away in center field. Polo Grounds was like 260 or 270 down the line and 450 feet to center field. Just the way it is.

I'll never understand why MLB doesn't have uniform field dimensions like other professional sports leagues??

I'm ok with the character from park to park, but the hill in center field is stupid and borderline dangerous to a player. |

But doesn't MLB have final say on a stadiums outfield dimensions and unique quirks? Or can a city just do whatever it wants? If I was an owner, Could I just build 250' down the lines if I wanted to just because?

It's amazing what our record is considering our injuries, suspensions and our SP being pretty bad. Hopefully things won't come down to earth.
Love this club, but obviously the SP rotation needs an upgrade to take the next step. The good thing is Dayton Moore knows this.
